However, the title of the university is incorrect and should in English be "Oporto", as the definite article forms part of the name and cannot be assimilated to the preposition as it is in Portuguese..Diomedea Exulans (talk) 09:54, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
 * That's technically true, but 'Oporto' was already archaic when I came to live here in the 1980s. Blame football! Rothorpe (talk) 00:00, 24 October 2012 (UTC)


 * 'Planetarium of Porto' is inelegant and clumsy and hardly sounds like correct English. Rather than change to 'Porto Planetarium', I have changed it to the Portuguese name, as used in the University's literature in English (see link). Rothorpe (talk) 00:12, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
